Have won employee if the month 3 times in a calendar year

I have a team first mentality where I enjoy seeing the success of my teammates as well as my own. I believe that if the team is successful, this will elevate everyone's performance and create a friendly competitive environment.


During my off time, I had spent many years coaching youth hockey. This had helped me extrapolate that skill set into my professional career.
